Biographies

Since I discovered the fantastic Genet biography as written by Edmund White in 1993, I have developed an interest for biographies in general. I find it the best way to learn a piece of history at the same time as you are discovering interesting facts from fascinating people. I just finished two of those lately. On one side a book actually relating the handful of facts we know about Shakespeare and elaborating about all what we do not know as cleverly researched by the ever captivating Bill Bryson. On the other side I came to learn a great deal about Charles Darwin from the inside since this book actually is an autobiography.
